Political Ecology Days (Brussels)

About the event

This edition of the Politicla Ecology Days will be particularly focusing on the question of the reversal of inequalities and the innvational ideas on how to take care better of our world and society. We will therefore discuss how to repair and transform the earth, how to mend inequalities, investigate the relations between humans and non-humans and discuss  our visions of the economy, the world or justice. Repair can be conceived here as both “acknowledging”, “doing justice” or “taking care”. Transform as a movement which, starting among other things from what there is to repair, modifies the coordinates of the world-system.

During 4 days, you can discover more about green politics in 8 lectures, 12 workshops, Greens Talks and 1 documentary screening.
